WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 17, 1879. now editor of the Wilmington gsiar, was prominently spoken of as a person I in all raroects well Qualified to write a history of the State., Recently the Tar- aud in response to it Mr. Kingsbury has addressed to the editor of that paper a lftttfir from which we codv as follows: I writeSto aclnolWge juE4na a., :i :. nessj and o say4hattdo W eP?' 10 be able to undertake any extended liter ary work. In October, 1875, 1 had col lected nearly every authority necessary for the preparation of a History of North Carolina for the,, library, to be contained in one octavo volume of some 800 pages. I had selected John Rich ard Green's remarkable "Historv of the English People" as the best model I was acquainted with. I refer to his work in one volume and not to his later, more elaborate and finished history, I ex- pected then to devote aboutHBye. hours a day for at least four yearsYttf fcrxeJpro duction of the work, and hoped by 1880 to have it readv ffjr the press. s eircum? stances compelled 4ne to 'abandon tody cherished undertaking, and I see no prospect now of entering upon the work to which I had purposed to deojte, some honest and patient toil. Without leisure I could never expect to write, any thing that my most indul gent and partial friends would regard with tTie'leasoansfactlon.' That leis ure is denied me. The man who writes fairly well must give hisbestnourstdthe task. So I have no literary plans, and can never hope to serve? the? people or my native North Carolina in, even the humblest and most. modest, way. i i The question of a history of North Carolina has come to be a serious one. Wheeler's is good so far as it goes ; without it we would be lost; it is not absolutely accurate but it is enough so to be highly valuable. Still, it does not fill the measure of our wants. Closing with 18"0, we have here a blank of thir ty years. For the history of the men and the occurrences of this period we must needs depend for all our knowl edge upon the treacherous memories of men and upon ephemeral publications newspapers and the like. Our State is sadlv in ileefljbf h soir ; who ha? the ability, thejfwjil, Jthe pltribtism, fiifrl breadth of ?mind th tmfe and : 1jb$ means to enable him to 6egin with the earliest times, revise Hawks's and Wheeler's histories, take up the thread where the latter left off, and present to our own people and to the world a re cord of such matter and such names as are worthy of preservation. In addi tion to the requisites named above the' writer must be imbued with a genuine love of his work, and must needs be la borious, conscientious and pains-taking. We very much doubt if we have in the State a man who possesses more of the qualifications requisite to such a task than Mr. T. B. Kingsbury. How ever, to asklaTjournalist "to" undertake such a work if to . ask him to. abandon his profession' and unfortunately there are few of our scholars who -could af ford to retire for three, five or seven years from their chosen professions to prosecute such an undertaking as this. He who! could, would,! we believe, re ceive his reward in the end, in the sale of his book and in the thanks of his fellow-citizens ; but, as has been sug gested, there arer few "who, could tide over this term ef yeart in -the hope" f reward in the future. And m ore's the Pity, , . .: , .. : At present we see no prospect of the fulfillment of the general desire pf our people for a full and accurate history of our State. Col. W heeler himself began, we believe, some years ago, the revisidn of his own history, having in view a purpose to f ollowrup his work where he left off in 185d;'butf latterly nothing has been heard regarding his progress, and we fear that -advancing years and increasing infirmities, have caused him to abandon the undertaking. If not, we should be pleased to hear to the con trary ; if so, when can we ever hope to have a history of North Carolina except the Legislature make aq annual appro priation to a competent person, stipulate ing m-t4te-eontraet that- the proceeds from the sale of the book shall revert tr.x to the State until it Jias'been ear -. .

In the course of the average year the farmers of this fotrjrgef il0SK amount of advice.

These s remarks., ar, inspired, b; our, having observed in numbers" of our more Southern exchanges articles head ed p. above: "Hold yonrf cotton;" or artiolei farming teh.es o put the staple on the markeTat the earliest pos sible, moment. Now, for quj own part we give iio ad'ylgfefitbmltWK way or another. We only copy the following communication to the Au gusta Chronicle und Constitutionalist feo show the possible fallacy of one of these arguments: . Lnolicfid in. one... oL. our weeklies an extract from your paper headed "Hold Back Your Cotton This article seems to have been? written by some one ; con versant witnitneiipresent supply of cot- rrm arHithfi rirobabfe demand twit fliis fall winter. Whether the writer is a sharp cotton buyer or a persori: inter ested in the welfare of the farmers, I am not prepared to say, but he evident ly advises the farmers against their in terest, whatever is his object. This is his proposition : You probably owe no money to be paid earlier than the 15th of October or the 1st of November. Hold your cotton as long as you an; then, Jmf Joft ill get a, good price foi it Now, suppose all theiarmers 1 shduldtact 1 upon this suffgesuon ana hoia their cotton until their notes are due, then there would be a great rush of cotton and a consequent falling off in prices that would ruin the farmers and enrich the cotton buyers, Farmers, wratch the market, and use your own judgment. jJust exactly so. This argument is perfectly good as far as it oesl f Baton'' wie contrary suppose theutumn mar- ket.opens with cotton at 8 cents ; shall the farmer sell for the cost of produc tion through the fear that it may go still lower? Who is gifted with that prophetic ken which enables him to say that cotton is not now 2 cents lower than it will be a month hence, or that it is" not 2 cents higher? The cotton trade of this country is so manipulated these late years that no man can see even a week ahead of him, and we make bold to say that nobody has the slightest reason for saying one month that it will be higher or that it will be lower the next. Otrronly advice to the farmer about this matter is that contained in the last sentence of the communication above J t. Watch the jnarket, and use ytmr own judgment." And this amounts to just no advice at all. Refused to Pay. The statement has been made through the public press that the .Etna Insurance Company has refused payment of the life policy of the late Col. R. C. Patterson, of Salem. TWais; ajmatter of not mere family batofeaeral concern,- andi -wY have waited for the explanation, which is due, of the company's refusal to pay over to the family of the' deceased the amount i, of insurance which ;he, .had with it. It has, we have understood, proposejd to compromise the matter by. a partial payment -It seems to lis that if it owes anything it owes alVand if it owes nothing on this policy it ought to have found out that the policy was invalid sometime during the thirteen years wnne vol Patterson was, paying .up his premiums. The whole matter looks suspicious. Let us have some ex planation of it. The company is suf fering from its silence. If its ex planation is not worse than its silence it cannot make it too early.
